Hello, I'm a Visual Arts student in high school and I am currently writing a 4,000 word essay on how the Rococo movment has influenced a fashion collection. I have to read an unhealthy amount of articles and papers and it can get exhausting and unmotivating. Perspective, and Waldemar I want to express how grateful I am for this video series. Waldemar clearly shows passion for the topic and is an amazing story teller. Waldemar, your passion is contangious and makes me excited to learn and listen to you. Thank you for giving me motivation to write my paper and placing excitment in my otherwise unflavourful research process. The video is wonderful and infromative and makes me want to write. Please continue creating videos of the same nature, the heart and soul that goes into them dosen't go unoticed. Thank you!
I simply adore Waldemar and love all his videos! Not only are they so well done but he adds his own great personality ! Such a wealth of knowledge and insights they always are!❤❤❤
As a mural artist I am in awe of the Tiepolo ceiling! It's difficult enough with drivable lifts and manufactured paints! To have to relocate scaffolding and make paint also is mind blowing. It only took him a year?!!! Working above his head?!!!
This is amazing. I still can't believe I can watch this for free. I used to purchase his videos but never regret cuz they have always been great in quality. Thanks god for his continuous works in youtube. So precious.
I agree, Waldemar's 1400-1900's documentaries are the best of the best - the Rococo and Baroque are my all time favorites and as an artist I have learned more from watching these videos than from six years in college as an art student.
I totally think the same! My favorite is his video about the Viking Burial Ship.. if you haven’t seen it - prepare for an hour that will blow your mind in such a good way!
At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="172">2:52</a>:17. I wish Waldemar had shown one of the most arresting paintings I've ever seen. It's from Goya. It's rather obscure. It's part of the "Black Paintings" Goya had painted in the interior of his house. It's of a little dog, its head above this vast yellow space that looks like quicksand. It's the saddest, most terrifying portrayal of an animal I've ever seen. I almost cried when I saw it. To me it portrayed the emptiness of an indifferent, callous universe drowning us all, represented by a desperate, little dog. Incredibly moving is all I have to say. I need to see it in real life.
I have always wanted to learn the basic history of art and searched for the same . However, this particular channel has become an immense help to me. Thank you
Not going to lie the first time i saw Waldemar i totoally misjudged him and thought he looked like the kind of guy that gets into drunken fights at football games. "Whats THIS guy going to teach me about art?" Boy was i wrong to have done that! His videos are now some of my absolute favorite on youtube.
what, you cant be an art history lover and get in fights at football matches? Most artists were fighters and killers, its just the critics and gallery owners that are soft.
How extremely fascinating are all your art series, how bewitching, delightful and at the same time how greatly educational! I cannot stop watching them one by one over and over again. And then I return to those which I haven't seen for a while and start this magic from the beginning. But my appetite for your stories is never satisfied and only grows bigger.
Hey Perspective! Next we want to be able to see the following featuring Waldemar Januszczak: Toulouse-Lautrec: The Full Story Barromini the dark side of baroque The lost supper Here comes the summer the undertones story The Michelangelo Code: Lost Secrets of the Sistine Chapel Handmade in Bolton
@@kyleanuar9090 Yes! They are productions in which he is featured. It’s the only documentaries that I can’t find online, I’ve seen everything else he have made. Toulouse-Lautrec: the full story can however be rented at Vimeo for 14 dollars, But I don’t want to pay that much
Love this series and Waldemar is just the greatest. I notice in Episode 3 that his narration audio track seems to be mixed way too low for the background music - right? Could (in theory) just be my sound bar acting up at least inside of the first 10 min or so of episode 3 I was unable to hear the narration well enough......
Venice is more beautiful in reality than in any Canaletto painting. He did not add light - if anything he toned it down to suit moody northern tastes. It was quite strange how Waldemar’ own footage disproved his words.
Did the sound mixer take the day off for the Hogarth episode? The sound was fine until then, then the music has to play all over the narration so you can’t hear the guy.
Your sweetness of spirit and kindness of heart always come through in your vlogs. Thank you for consistently putting peaceful vibes into the world. The “Fairy” piece is amazing. With it, you’ve added yet another beautiful thing to the world. ❤❤❤
I can’t help but think that Marie’s sentiments were misconstrued in her realization of the “fake village”. It’s well known how much of a doting mother Marie was to her children. The village, as I’ve come to see it, was more realistically a humble gesture to her children, so that they may experience moments of a more wholesome, fulfilled upbringing.
Hey man, if you happen to see this.. I would love to see you visit Sarasota Florida at the Ringling. They adopted so many styles. I would love to know the history. Thanks
I'm looking for the music at the opening of episode 2, played bay the two women with cello and harpsichord. I can't find any infos in the credits at the end of the documentary. Does anyone know what they are playing?
How do get access to all the amazing artwork? I mean all the places you get into looking over the scope of your videos. Especially like the one where you & your mates to some largely unpopulated banana republic like place with one guys statues, face draped over buildings.
I realise this was made 10-15 years ago and not by Perspective who simply own the rights, so not much to be done now, but I have to say, the audio mixing on Episode 3 is truly abominable.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a>:30 why would not 'sans souci "simply be: "without worry", kind of like the modern expression " no worries " or something indicating pleasantness like that, am i missing something . . it doesn't seem that odd to me, not saying it could be, of course, moreso complex for sure, but " without worry "just seems so obvious as a kind of welcoming banner
I wonder how much of the rococo finery and frippery, enchanted gardens, pleasure and leisure, freedom and happiness, filtered down to the ordinary citizen? Not much I suspect. Likely in their rude and harsh lives they had hardly an inkling of the joys of that lifestyle. But then history is owned by those of wealth and power.
Just an FYI, the wonderful music that accompanies the series is all Baroque, not Rococo which is lovely music but not as well known. And those golden statues aren't depicted with invented instruments; just poorly re-created ones, about as far off as all those Rhinos.
OMG the music got so ridiculously loud I couldn’t hear a word you were saying.. any how this was an entertaining series and I have absolutely zero interest in art
